Palomar 12 as a Part of the Sagittarius Stream: The Evidence from Abundance Ratios

We present a detailed abundance analysis for 21 elements based on high dispersion, high spectral resolution Keck spectra for four members of the outer halo ``young'' Galactic globular cluster Pal 12. All four stars show identical abundance distributions with no credible indication of any star-to-star scatter. However, the abundance ratios …
